Message to the residents of Glen Ridge
regarding the impact of
last weekend's snow storm
Last weekend's snow storm caused significant damage in Town. In the aftermath of the storm, approximately 1/3 of our homes in Town lost electric power, cable service was interrupted, trees were damaged, roads were closed, and traffic signals were put out of service.
The clean up began even before the storm ended. Beginning around noon on Saturday, GR Public Works crews worked throughout the storm, removing snow, and clearing downed limbs from roadways, driveways and sidewalks. The GR Police Department increased the number of patrols and responded to reports of traffic signal outages, downed electric wires, and downed trees and tree limbs. Borough officials worked all weekend to monitor the storm and assess its impact. Communication with PSE&G began immediately as we learned of electric outages around Town.
Michelle Machemer, Glen Ridge resident, director of systems development at Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey and a mother of three, was one of eight N.J. women that Working Mother magazine named "Working Mothers of the Year"
